He was 22 years old when he died. Whelan was a soccer artist whose brain moved faster than his legs. Despie looking awkward on the ball he was an amazing dribbler and lethal in the box. Whelan was a devout Roman Catholic who came from a large family; his father John had died in 1943, when Whelan was eight years old. He was not a confident flyer and just before the aeroplane took off from Munich, he was heard to say: ''If this is the end, then I'm ready for it''. Whelan began his career with Home Farm before joining Manchester United. He made 98 first-team appearances between August 1955 and February 1958, scoring 52 goals. He had previously played for Irish club Home Farm, and was a regular in the Republic of Ireland national team. Liam WHELAN | 1957-1958 | PES Stats Database (Golden Era Backup)
